STEP 1
Assemble Side Panels
A. Each side panel consists of two (2) legs, one
(1) top side brace and one (1) glide support brace.
When assembled, diagonal legs will be the same
(i.e. Front Right/Back Left and Front Left/Back
Right). Side panels are identical when assembled -
the drawer glides will determine left and right sides.
B. Take each of the 4 legs and install two (2) Bastion
Posts per leg, on the side of the leg which also
has two (2) pin holes for the Glide Support Sticks.
Locate post holes. Tap Posts in with hammer until
threads engage wood; turn Posts down until the
solid shaft hits the wood (All threads are into wood),
then back Posts out until the holes in the Posts are
perpendicular to the long length of the leg (about 1/2
turn). Attach L-Bracket to the leg using 5/8” Phillips
Flat Head #6 Screw. Use the slot rather than the
hole on the L Bracket. The hole is used to fasten the
table top.
C. Lay out front leg and one (1) top side brace as
shown in Illustration 1A.
D. Take the top side brace and drop two barrel nuts
into the access holes as in Illustration 1A. Threaded
end of the nuts face out. Insert front left leg posts
into the holes in the ends of the brace, through the
side of the barrel nuts, until the holes in the posts
can be seen through the threaded end of the nuts.
Insert the Set Screws into the nuts and tighten
down. The tip of the set screw will seek the center
of the bastion post as it is tightened leaving a tight
joint. If the joint is too loose, check to make sure the
set screw is not cross-threaded or that the post is
out too far (not threaded into leg deep enough). See
previous page for Bastion illustrations.
E. Insert two 3/4” pins into each end of the glide
support brace. Position brace so that the pilot holes
for attaching the glide are towards the bottom edge.
Insert brace pins into the holes on the inside of the
left front leg as in Illustration 1B (4 pilot holes out)
with pilot holes off-center toward the bottom of the
leg.
F. Attach Back Left Leg in the same manner as in
Illustration 1C.
G. Repeat for other side panel.
